...crescendo, building into the song’s middle section, a paen to lost love animated by deft tribal drumming. Then, after the obligatory mathcore breakdown, the song heads into the album’s highpoint—when Puciato’s vocals and his bandmates’ guitarwork, which started in discord, resolve into a thunderous harmony.
